Bus Accident Lawyer in Alameda County

City buses are large and heavy, and the drivers are following the same routes, day after day, and can become inattentive over time, or even aggressively entering the stream of traffic. Most of us are willing to yield to a city bus that is pulling out into traffic, but dangerous driving by a city bus driver can cause serious injury accidents if they take risks. The passengers on the city bus are also at risk when the driver is negligent and can suffer serious injuries if the bus is involved in an accident. Even a slip & fall accident on public transport can cause serious injuries, and deserves the assistance of a skilled personal injury lawyer.

Such cases often move forward more quickly and could get a much higher settlement or compensation when you have legal representation. Insurance companies may advise you to avoid getting an attorney. The reason that they would prefer you to remain without legal representation is because they are aware that it is likely that they will be paying out a higher claim for those that have an aggressive personal injury lawyer fighting for fair compensation.
